The idea came to me after reading about Jeran Tek and his journey back in 2007 to visit every system in EVE. I thought it would be a fun goal.

So, after four months in my trusty Condor (4-Foxtrot) ˘on the road÷ between May and August 2011, I have finally visited every system in the game.

I decided to use a Condor for a number of reasons, including

To prove the point that you do NOT need a Covert Ops ship to fly to any/every system in EVE, and for the price, you can loose a lot of Condors or the price of a Buzzard!

At the current prices, a Condor loss (with my T1 fit) is valued at about 146,000 ISK, a T2 well fit Buzzard costs around 32,000,000 ISK, this means I could loose about 220 Condors for a single Buzzard. As it turned out I only needed 22 Condors, which was a lot less than I expected when I first set out!

Even in a Covert Ops ship, Jeran Tek needed at least 4 Cheetahs to make it to every system in EVE.

Whilst it wasnĂt really about the money, I could have afforded 22 Buzzards, it was more the principle than any monetary loss.

To all those who read my in-game Bio (explain why I was there), chatted in Local, and wished me well, thank-you.

Also thank-you to all those who saw me in their intel channels, and didnĂt bother chasing this solo pilot in a Condor. Interestingly, it was fun to be able to out-run most of those who did decide to give chase.

And to all those who get a killÓ well done.

Whilst some might think this to be an incredibly boring thing to do, it was more interesting than you might expect. You get to seen and experience all sort of different things within the game, and the wide variety of people that ˘live÷ in various regions.

I am now trying to work out a route through to the Jove regions, so a can ˘complete÷ my map. There has to be a secret jump bridge somewhere :).

Quite a few "highlights"... but one funny / cool story was when I was out deep in "Russian space" and got killed / podded on a gate... and one of the guys messaged me with words to the effect of "... wtf were you doing in a Condor (with that bull**** T1 fit) ... out here..."

After explaining what I was doing and having a nice chat about EVE etc., he apologised for podding me.. and wished me well on my travels!

He also was every proud of the fact that he had learn to type in English whilst playing EVE for the past couple of years... which I though was very cool.

Interestingly, although there is a lot of negative sentiment towards the DRF and other Russian groups (for various "null sec politics" reasons"), personally, I found the EVE gamers in Russian space the most supportive/friendly within EVE.

Originally by:EfrayaCongratulations man, next step is w-space, you'll need the BM's of approximately 2500 suns. Best of luck.

Ah... the challenge of wh space.

Sadly there is no obvious publicly demonstratable way of tracking systems visited.

I was wondering if you're journey included WH systems. Bookmarks and/or screenshots would be sufficient i think. And really, anyone who questions it anyway would just be another like the fool above who cynically remarked that your "highlights" were change of background and starting over when destroyed. In essence, people easily ignored and laughed at.

That's pretty awesome. I DO believe that, this one time, CCP should shine their light on this and grant you access to Jove space so you can complete your journey in a basic Condor.

I'd like to tag along on your wormhole expedition for a few at least, hit me up in game :) All thats left now is for someone to do it in a rookie ship, or in just one ship :P

although someone once mentioned to me when i asked are why there are no routes into this sector: it is where the Devs "live" and is for testing as far as he knew. (who was it?, idr it has been soo long)

Hey... if John Rourke from Clear Skies can get a ticket throught to Jove space (Clear Skies 3), then surely there are ways?
